About Me

I tend to be very emotionally balanced and extremely level headed! No matter the situation, I am always able to look at the facts in order to make things run smoothly!
I studied architecture and my favorite subject was about its history. With this fascination I present to you The Story of Architecture. Be prepare to discover the development of different architectural styles from the simple dolmen of the Neolithic Period to the present day modern sky scrappers.
Inspired by the National Geographic and Discovery Channels, my A to Z Index of Animals will amaze you with the wonderful world of the animal kingdom.
Further on, my Mapcard collections will help you find your way across the globe. And if you're feeling bored, just scoll your way down my Other collections and see at closer inspection what it has to offer.
